I make a lemon-lime jalepano wine. And I absolutelylove that stuff. It starts sweet, then you get the jalapeño flavor with just a little bit of heat. And it finishes sweet with the citrus notes. The heat doesn't hang around at all. It's fairly complex and very well balanced. I serve it chilled and describe it as a spicey lemonade. It's a complete and total departure from what most people think of when they think of wine. And I absolutely love it.

I just started my second batch of this. Loved the first batch. Using a liter of grape juice concentrate for hopefully a bit more mouth feel. Trying out Kveik Voss yeast cause I live in the tropics and have no temp control. Also have 4 real lemons for their juice and rind near the end of the ferment. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

More than likely depends on the yeast strain - and in that case you may want to use the invert sugar method to give your yeast an easier time. Our video from last summer shows that process. Typically hardy wine yeasts are used. This one was a strain called QA23. Thanks for watching!

Doing a variation of this recipe with Limes right now. Slurry is an imperial yeast Ale juice A38. Once I rack to secondary I will most likely add in some lime zest tincture, some tequila, back sweeten with agave and then keg carbonate. Goal is around 12% abv with a crisp, clean margarita taste. 🤞🏻

Random idea...fully ferment a plain sugar wash and THEN add the lemon juice and sugar to taste after the fermentation is all done? Alternatively, only add enough lemon juice as needed to invert the sugars before fermentation and then add the rest after the fact during the backsweetening? This idea is based on trying to avoid any issues from the additives in the bottles juice. What so you think?

My skeeter pee has been going strong for 23 days. It's still bubbling at 6-second intervals. I did it a little differently than you. I used Lakewood Organic Pure Lemon Juice (not from concentrate) that I found at Sprouts Market. The only ingredient is lemon juice (no preservatives). I tossed everything in the 5-gallon carboy all at once (not 1/3, 1/3, 1/3), used a Lalvin EC 1118 yeast, and did not ever add any yeast nutrient (just lemon juice, water, sugar, and yeast). I gave the carboy a good shaking twice. Once when tossing the yeast and once a week later. It is starting to look delicious, but I'm not sure when, if ever, it will want to stop fermenting. I'm considering a cold crash to clarify it at some point. And I have a corny keg waiting for it when it's done.

I've been told (yes, by youtubers!) that boiling knocks the preservatives out of jam for jam wine (boiled the batches I made and fermentation went like gangbusters). So if you do the sugar inverting boil with the first litre of lemon juice I'd guess it may do something similar? Or I could bury a cows thighbone at the crossroads at midnight and sprinkle daisies on it. Science it up right.

Sodium metabisulfite, preservative 223. Look for lemon juice with only this preservative . In Australia it's standard in major supermarkets. It ferments just fine , just blows off a smell for the first couple of days . As a BruMeister OG I use ginger in mine , it both ferments and tastes better. Don't use any of that winemaker stuff , and don't brew it above 5% you make everyone sick in reality if you have a large supply of easily drinkable 7%+ stuff . 4.5% is good you can actually have a proper session on it 7% and 8% , even 9% is rookie stuff like people who know nothing about handguns want a " desert eagle .50" not a good reliable hi-capacity 9mm they can actually use.

@JordyValentine no I mean proper brewing equipment usefull for this particular application. Wide top fermenters are for beer/cider/gingerbeer, and carboys are for wine. You don't need any of the additives that winemakers use either, whatsoever, just yeast nutrient . Kveik yeast will ferment out completely palatable , and then require minimal maturation in bottle or secondary prior to kegging, on a ginger beer/beer/cider , if you brew it fundamentally as a beer not a wine . The " inverting" sugar is all hoax ...if sucrose is cane sugar tell me what upside down " inverted" sugar is, specifically? 😀 I've done controlled side by side batches. It's complete BS no effect other than it affects PH level , the boiling with lemon juice

Base it on gravity readings, because every fermentation is different you should take a reading every couple of days and add the lemon juice when 1/3 and later when 2/3 of the sugar have been consumed by the yeast (for example, in a 1.100 starting gravity you’d add the first bottle of juice when your reading is 1.066, then add the second bottle when the gravity has reached 1.033)

What a great idea! I’m half way through my efforts to make this. Smells gorgeous! I managed to find some bottled organic lemon juice with no preserves so that’s cool. I didn’t have a slurry (but will next time) so knocked up a quick starter which worked really well but was a bit slow at the start. After some nutrient and the second addition of lemon juice it took off like a rocket. It’s behind an airlock now and going splendidly so I think another week or so should do it. I have a question though. If I ferment it totally dry and it tastes good can I carbonate it with a primer before bottling?

Why didn't you invert the sugar in this version compared to your prior version? Do you notice a difference with the final product?

Any thought on bottle conditioning it to make it sparkle some?... seems like it wouldn't need a lot of priming sugar...

You could sweeten with erythritol and then bottle condition with added dextrose to prime.

Do you think Hornindal might be a good option for skeeter pee? I’m trying to make a batch to have a ready in a little over two weeks, so I’m hoping for some Kveik speeds 😂

I just pitched some washed Hornindal into a braggot that took off impressively in under 24 hours. So I’m pretty pleased so far with its viability and aggressiveness.

Is it neccessary to use stabilizers? Could i just make it sit for a while without sugars or something
@DointheMost
@DointheMost 4 жыл бұрын
If you don’t stabilize, there’s always a chance for refermentation once you sweeten. You could sweeten with a sugar alcohol like erythritol though. It’s a natural sweetener, but yeast can’t eat it.

You could make a starter with yeast, water, and some nutrient and/or fruit to get the yeast hardened up.

@@DointheMost but you didn't specify the type of yeast. Can I use, say WLP001 (California Ale), or is it a wine yeast? Since FG drops to 1.000, I presume it would a yeast with a higher attenuation.

Bruce Kish This sits just below 9% ABV as the recipe itself is written. I have used ale yeast (US-05) before, but typically a wine yeast is used. The original recipe written over a decade ago was for reusing a wine yeast slurry.
